The most famous collections of fairy tales (童话) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition(版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.
But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.
The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood” a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck(啄) out their eyes.
Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?
One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.
But t
he deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.
Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?
单选题
A. A. To deal with readers' complaints.
B. B. To improve his financial situation.
C. C. At the request of his publisher.
D. D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.
正确答案：B

A. A. adding character judgments
B. B. making the tales much longer

D. D. polishing up the language

请阅读以下文章，回答文章后的五个小题。每个小题只有一个最佳选项。
For 20 months the wrecked Costa Concordia has been lying on its side near the coast of Giglio，a small Italian island. But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage（打捞）operation ever conducted，the large ship was finally moved to the upright position. The next step is for the vessel to be removed from the area entirely.
The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself didn’t budge（稍微移动）for the first three hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told reporters. He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright.
The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012，after its captain, Francesco Schettino，brought the ship too close to the shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused serious damage and allowed water to pour in. Most of the 4,200 people on board made it to land safely, but more than 30 people were killed in the disaster. Two people remain missing. The Concordia’s captain is currently on trial for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.
The operation to right the ship is called parbuckling. While parbuckling is a standard operation to right capsized ships，it has never before been used on such a large ship. Workers had been waiting for favorable weather condi
tions to undertake the operation. On Monday，authorities gave the final go-ahead.
The process was expected to take no more than 12 hours. But problems with the large system of steel chains caused delays. Engineers worked through the night using cables and metal water tanks to roll the ship onto special platforms.
The Concordia is expected to be pulled away from Giglio in the spring of 2014 and turned into scrap metal (废金属). The ship’s owner, Costa Cruises, will pay for the recovery, which has already cost more than $800 million.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
单选题
A. A. Ship Safety Management
B. B. Shipwrecks: an Environmental Threat
C. C. The Costa Concordia Disaster
D. D. The Costa Concordia Salvage
正确答案：D
